National Black Chamber of Commerce president and CEO Harry C. Alford told The Daily Caller that he ”ignored” President Obama’s “spread the wealth” comment in 2008 and “had hopes” for him “because he was black.”
“I don’t really support him too well and he knows it and that’s a badge of honor. He’s bad. He’s bad and I supported him. I voted for him the first time around. I had hopes because he was black. Shame on me,” Alford told TheDC at the National Press Club after an anti-gun control news conference.
“Then when he started doing all these executive orders, banning right-to-work and other things, hurting my members, my constituents. I had to back off. I had to represent my people.”

Serves him right for thinking a biracial white raised WASP-Kenyan is N authentic African american
If Obama had confiscated all white wealth in the nation and distributed it to blacks, you wouldn’t have heard a peep from this guy. He’s just dissapointed his racist vote didn’t work out the way he planned. Spit.
I think this is the same guy that called out Barbara Boxer on her ractist comments. I posted the video everywhere during her election to no avail. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4FoekBjhtWE&NR=1
Well, the people in Zimbabwe are so rich, they eat $3 Trillion loaves of bread.
Coming to a Chicongo and Detroit near you.
Mr. Alford gets it.
“had hopes” for him “because he was black.”
Oh! OK. For a minute there I thought this guy might be a bit of a racist...
Do I really need a /sarc tag?
Your restraint is admirable.
;>)
Thanks for nothing, you illiterate pr**k.
Indeed.
Surely a lot of White people voted for Obama for that very reason. They thought “the first Black president” would bring about some kind of golden age of racial reconciliation. It all sounds silly now. Alford gets it. A lot of people don’t.
Funny, apparently a moderator disagreed. My post has been nuked.
Strangely, I have described Obama using those words
, and much worse, at least 100 times on FR.
Perhaps a closet Obama lover has finally found me.
Money knows no color.
Uhm.....he’s have white.
What is that? Another colorblind organization?
exactly...spare me the whining now. ANYONE who voted for obama the first time owns everything he does. And admitting you voted for a candidate because they were black is the height of racism, white-hatred and ignorance.
Too little, too late bubba. You helped give the reigns of this country to an incompetent who hates white people and success.
They did not vote for him because he was dark skinned. They voted for him because he was Black.
Black is a cultural descriptive with all sorts of connotations that have nothing to do with the shade of one’s skin.
